Don’t miss the Ukip leader’s exclusive column every week

TOMORROW is a big day for elections. It is the British “Super Thursday” and every one of you has a vote.

We have elections to the Scottish Parliament, the Northern Irish Assembly, the Welsh Assembly, the London mayor and Assembly, two parliamentary by-elections, thousands of council seats and Police and Crime Commissioners in England and Wales.

Virtually no one that I have met seems to be aware of the Police and Crime Commissioner vote. There has been precious little on the BBC or any other form of public debate.

In some ways, after the Hillsborough judgment in which the direction of the police and their behaviour was so openly criticised, this is surprising.

There really is not much point in Government introducing new layers of elected officials and not advertising the fact. I suspect the turnout for PCCs will be low.

As a result of this mass of elections I’ve been on tour. And in the last seven days I’ve been to Inverness, the Valleys of South Wales, to Carrickfergus just outside Belfast and many other visits besides. More people are talking about the referendum than about these elections, which is perhaps not surprising.

Scared

It is interesting to note that many people on the side of Remain are comfortable in their lives and while very few believe in the EU flag, the anthem or want a European army, they seem scared to rock the boat.

The Leave side is very different. Nowhere more so than in Dagenham, in the East End of London. The response I received on the streets and in the pubs of Dagenham was passionate, strong and unforgettable.

A lot of people from lifelong Labour families are committed to leaving the European Union.

They have seen their wages driven down, struggled to get their children into their school of choice and are seeing parts of east London change beyond recognition.

I suspect for many of them, even if they were asked to walk through hot coals to get to the ballot box, they probably would.

If the continuing negativity and doom-mongering of the Prime Minister and his corporate allies continues, then turnout even for the referendum will begin to fall.

In this situation it is the argument with passion that will win. All of this is the big advantage for Leave.
